I have a little cousin named Garrett who is not so little anymore (he's 8 years old and very smart!). When he was about Amity's age, he impressed all of us by his ability to name all of the people in his little Fisher Price nativity scene. Last year, I was so excited to find the same set for half-price at Mardels after Christmas. It has been sitting on a shelf in my closet ever since. Last week, I pulled the box down, opened it up, and set it up on our coffee table. Amity has been fascinated with it ever since. It is pretty much the only toy she has played with all week.
At night before bedtime, we typically read from The Baby Bible Storybook and practice her Bible verse (Deuteronomy 6). As we countdown to Christmas this year, we are reading the book Baby Jesus is Born every night. Amity loves to hold the Little People from her nativity as we read about them in the book. She is getting good at identifying the Mommy Mary, Daddy Joseph (Dennis tried to explain that he is really the step-daddy but I think it went over her head!), and Baby Jesus. We still have some work to do to learn who those wise men are!
What a privilege it is to share this part of the Gospel with our little girl! Joy to the World!

Since our wedding scrapbook is still in the form of a scrapBOX, we plan to use blurb.com to occasionally convert this blog into a photobook for our girls. Your comments will be included in the book and we love them! Thanks again for dropping by!
